Keep alive dialog

The Keep alive options area allows you to set Flexiblesoft Dialer XP so connection with your ISP won't be broken during idle times. This option is necessary only if your ISP breaks your connection when nothing has been broadcast or received for several minutes.

To enable the Keep alive feature, check the Enable checkbox, and then type the URL address of your ISP (for example: "www.microsoft.com") in the Host field. Alternatively, you can type the IP address if you know it. By default, Flexiblesoft Dialer XP will ping this address every ten seconds. You can adjust this time, if needed.

When your ISP answers each ping, the answer time is displayed in milliseconds in the Answer field. This measures the time that passes from when the ping is sent to when Flexiblesoft Dialer II receives your ISP's answer. If no answer is received, the word Error appears. To sound an alarm when no answer is received from the server, check the Play sound alarm checkbox.
